Windows gui coding
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Windows gui coding You can't do it from Blitz because there is no way to get pointers to functions (which you need to create a callback function). You would need at least some supporting help from a DLL written in another language.
The basic steps are:
1. Create a WNDCLASSEX structure and fill it in, then call RegisterClassEx to register the window class.
2. Write a WNDPROC function to process messages sent to the window. This is called by Windows every time a message is sent to the window.
3. Use CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx to actually create the window.
4. Use either GetMessage or PeekMessage to retrieve the window messages, and TranslateMessage + DispatchMessage when you have finished with them.

Actually, just had a thought. It *might* be possible to get normal classes like Buttons to work because you don't need to write window procedures for them.
Thanks, one last thing where can i get all the function and parms for the windows dll files?
